Water Cycles and Plant Water Fluxes at the Whole Plant and Ecosystem Scales

Water Cycles • We are interested in interpreting changes in the hydrologic cycle from precipitation through evaporation. Below are links... Isotopes along the Weber Basin Isotope monitoring of precipitation, stream water, tap water, and vapor Plant Water Relations • Here we are interested in whole-plant and leaf-level transpirational fluxes in arid, mesic, and urban ecosystems. We are interested in how plants respond to and have adapted to environmental changes and biological interactions. Below are links to specific research areas.
